Convert between number types

Function	What it does	From
CInt	Converts a number or string to an Integer, rounding to the nearest; no overflow check.	built-in
CUInt	Converts a number or string to a UInteger, rounding to the nearest; no overflow check.	built-in
CByte	Converts a number or string to a Byte, rounding to the nearest; no overflow check.	built-in
CUByte	Converts a number or string to a UByte, rounding to the nearest; no overflow check.	built-in
CShort	Converts a number or string to a Short, rounding to the nearest; no overflow check.	built-in
CUShort	Converts a number or string to a UShort, rounding to the nearest; no overflow check.	built-in
CLng	Converts a number or string to a 32-bit Long, rounding to the nearest; no overflow check.	built-in
CULng	Converts a number or string to a 32-bit ULong, rounding to the nearest; no overflow check.	built-in
CLngInt	Converts a number or string to a 64-bit LongInt, rounding to the nearest.	built-in
CULngInt	Converts a number or string to a 64-bit ULongInt, rounding to the nearest.	built-in
CDbl	Converts a number or string to a Double.	built-in
CSng	Converts a number or string to a Single.	built-in
CBool	Converts a number, or the text "true" or "false", to a boolean; zero gives false.	built-in
Cast	Converts a value to any named type, such as Cast(Byte, flag).	built-in
CPtr	Converts a pointer or an integer to the given pointer type.	built-in
CSign	Converts an unsigned value to signed, so division and shifts treat it as signed.	built-in
CUnsg	Converts a signed value to unsigned, so division and shifts treat it as unsigned.	built-in

Convert between numbers and text

Function	What it does	From
Str	Returns a number or boolean as text.	built-in
WStr	Returns a number as a wide string.	built-in
Val	Converts text to a double.	built-in
ValInt	Converts text to a 32-bit integer.	built-in
ValLng	Converts text to a 64-bit integer.	built-in
ValUInt	Converts text to an unsigned 32-bit integer.	built-in
ValULng	Converts text to an unsigned 64-bit integer.	built-in
